Weak Big Block Chev • Wrong Parts + Poor Assembly = No Power!

which my client already knows when he bought the car he was told this engine makes some horse

power

this question 427 is where is that

power

it has to be here somewhere nick has been building high quality old school car engines for years and You've also seen a lot of other people's bills, sometimes when you buy an engine like this big

block

Chevy you just have to wonder what they were thinking. Here we are today, another day here in the workshop and I had a small accident this morning with my I walked towards another car that was close to passing because I entered against an axe.

Hold on to it sticking out of the car and that's it. Oh, I tried to go under it and scratched my eyes, but we're. Well, we're good, anyway, what I have here is a client of mine who last week bought a car with a 427 engine next to the car on the floor, so he bought this Camaro. He knew that he had been told that this engine makes 600 horsepower, this 427, so before he installed it in this car, he brought it here to put it on the dyno to see if it really makes 600 horsepower and ​​you brought the Dominator Holley carburetor but of course I haven't installed it on your engine yet.

I like to start the engine, my progress but it seems to have dried up, I don't know, maybe it doesn't work, maybe it's good or not, I don't want to take any risks, so what I did was put my old 1750 carburetor on top with an adapter plate just to start it up and check the mechanics we brought a dynamometer last week and did a test with my brother and mentioning that they didn't go well we have to want it, maybe we want we already came with the results of a total of 366 horses of force, just after 5,000 rpm, we had flames shooting straight through the carburetor.

The reason is that I'm sure the intestines were stuck. The water is at high rpm and of course you don't know that no damage has occurred, but to think there has been. you can

block

a power bomb or something, but there's no big question: where is that power? It's gotta be here somewhere, big block Chevy, big plate heads, big carburetor dominated by single plane intake, why aren't we anywhere near new power or six hours, so I? I called my client and they told him that his 427 wanted me mc2 six horsepower wasn't going very well, so he called me this morning and said Nick, you know what?

He removes the silver head and see what we have because during the time. from the testing we also did a compression test and we only have a cylinder pressure of 120 and you know if you're looking at 600 horsepower 127 the pressures are not good enough and of course you notice that it has a flat top. I know it's I have small ball springs. I doubted this 427 would make a lot of horsepower when you see a 427 come in here and of course it's got a big single plane intake manifold, it's got big ports so the head made by Merlin which is our product, you know? it's an indication that it's my high performance racing engine but any other life pudding on two lovely ones and I still didn't get what I was looking for anywhere near 600 with them what the customer told me Daniel, I noticed it has an H Point distributor II, nothing very special, like an original Regina part, except for that summary that it did a retest before and in addition it has a gear joy, not every time it shifts, it has a gear drive.

It should run for a few minutes. Does it have to snap into the cabinet with as much force or as a flat push down? So I have a running book in the can. We had oil, of course, the zinc it contains. Pork in the cabin. I also had the Electra, so just first of all and then of course remember a couple of tests and we never exceeded 366 horsepower and for that reason we're going to start taking it apart, okay, but since it's over, will remove all the spark plugs from the lake. We are going to accelerate fully to get air into the cylinder.

We are going to do another compression that is only to check the cylinder pressure. I'm just curious. I only did a test last week on cylinder number two. It was 120 psi, so yeah I see you're going to take them all out and of course we're going to recheck everything. I'm surprised this thing only has 120 psi. I just want to double check, but silly, maybe only one still has it, but no. I know, but pull out all the plugs, check them all and we'll see what's going on. They are pushing the school. 105 I think some things, baby, abort fifteen, destroy everything, take off, one is, I want to see what's going on.

I remove one side first and I'll take it from there, we're ready, we're going to get dad's Roadrunner to finish running and then we run into a little problem. I didn't want to turn it but I found out that the switch doesn't work so I have to replace the ignition switch and let me tell you it's a chore let me tell you sometimes you know it's easy sometimes it's hard for example now I just want Take out the cylinder for the key, push the pin inside and take it out. It doesn't want to come out, it came out half an inch and that's it and I want to replace the switch right here that also works out of the cylinder because I don't have which is the yellow wire that gives power to the The relay starts to engage and starts again.

In this case this doesn't work so what I'm doing is replacing the switch. I can finish the job and it is done with a little patience and perseverance. Nick takes out the key cylinder. Meanwhile, Vasily is taking the big block apart to figure out where all that horsepower went. It's teamwork in Nick's garage. I see big rectangular Porter heads, these are the so that's Becky's d6 in horsepower and she's not doing that so let's look at that camshaft. It's not a very big cam from what I see here, it's a very small hydraulic cam flat tappet, big portrait, yeah, before work, man, the big ports, this should be a high revving engine, yeah, like that the decision was left out and it's all there.

The rust here look, yeah, I'm like that, so ed, oh, meanwhile, let's take the butt off where we have the question is where is that power, it must be your song, so you've got it, yeah, okay, done for the bench once the guys lift their heads up and get on the bench they can see where the power went oh my gosh I was right the flat top business is better but those flat top pistons have been installed at One hundred and eighty degrees of the valve reliefs are in the

wrong

position. and you're looking for 600 horsepower with a flat top piston in an open chamber head, it's not going to happen, there you go, so now I have to call a gallery and tell them, buddy, you're not going to measure up of this engine.

I want to see what he's going to ask me to do right now, so don't worry anymore, stay there, let it go and what you'll give for six hours will not be pulse with this engine now with this cabin, not with these pistons, so of all Anyway, let's call it and then we'll go from there. Some people just build engines and they are huge. They have some power. I don't know how we said it. It seems that Vasily said. It seems that way. I just started, what we finally started to hear ourselves was that to enter the chamber, I knew a new one came in here and he has new urine, it's the silver walls, you can see 60 above, look, the cross hatch is still there , it's fresh. rebuild and someone assumed horsepower obsessive told the buyer that on the 610 horsepower big block axle from the outside yes it looks like it's on the horsepower but when you start taking it apart or like I said before I mean that we have it running with at or near or call this is like a loving biker, the guys who do it enough, but deep down he is just to let you know that there are a few inches that people contribute and that they buy as they what people tell them and in many cases. everything is

wrong

for example that 427 for ninja was told when he bought the motor it had a larger diameter than 30 after we did a measurement we found out it is a larger size than 40 and of course my client does not want a larger size 40 for 27, but Anyway, that's what they told him and here's another case with a chef with a big wallet, another customer bought it and told me to bring it in, take it apart and what we have and here's another one that told him They guaranteed 600 horsepower wasn't coming close, so you guys. when buying engines on the floor or side, don't believe everything they tell you until you take it to a dyno or someone takes it apart, take measurements and see the truth so that the underpowered big block Chevy is set aside.

For now, Nik is back in Gaytan's Roadrunner trying to figure out the electrical problems in the steering column, so now I replaced the switch on the steering column, but I also noticed that while I was working on the steering column, the ignition cylinder, the cylinder from which it comes out. He cranks with a lock, but when you want to go to the accessories the other way around, he doesn't want to go, so I'm also going to order him right now for a cylindrical cylinder for the center column, but I noticed something else when you get another cylinder. cylinder, you get a different key, so you have to tie it to the door, but I have noticed that the key that is with this car does not work with the doors of this car either, like here, they will show it to you and everyone.

I know in a car like this there is another key for the trunk and the ignition key also works with the doors on both sides here we go this is this key we put it here and look this doesn't work so these two door locks and the ignition should have the same key so I thought we need an ignition switch we need a cylinder and of course I'm cold both cylinders and the cylinder work with the same key just like I did with my Kawasaki project, so get it we'll do it, you know, you get a beautiful, shiny car.

I always find something wrong with something anyway, we will fix it right for him and you guys, if you look below the video, we have a lot of products. that you can buy, so whatever you want, buy it, love it, use it and enjoy it and help spread mix garage and if you have some time look at an image on the page, we have additional content and you can see it and take it. from there and see you next time.
